The Aesop for Children by Aesop.
Fable 33.
The Ass Carrying the Image.
a sacred image was being carried to the temple it was mounted on an ass adorned with garlands and gorgeous trappings and a grand procession of priests and pages followed it through the streets as the ass walked along the people bowed their heads reverently or fell on their knees
and the ass thought the honor was being paid to himself with his head full of this foolish idea he became so puffed up with pride and vanity that he halted and started to bray loudly but in the midst of his song his driver guessed what the ass had got into his head and began to beat him unmercifully with a stick go along with you you stupid ass he cried the honor's not meant for you but for the image you're carrying
the moral of the story do not try to take the credit to yourself that is due to others fable thirty four a raven and a swan a raven which you know is black as coal was envious of the swan because her feathers were as white as pure snow the foolish bird got the idea that if he lived like the swan swimming and diving all day long and eating the weeds and plants that grow in the water his feathers would turn white like the swan's
so he left his home in the woods and fields and flew down to live on the lakes and in the marshes but though he washed and washed all day long almost drowning himself at it his feathers remained as black as ever and as the water-weeds he ate did not agree with him he got thinner and thinner and at last he died
the moral of the story a change of habits will not alter nature fable thirty five the two goats two goats frisking gaily on the rocky steeps of a mountain valley chanced to meet one on each side of a deep chasm through which poured a mighty mountain torrent
the trunk of a fallen tree formed the only means of crossing the chasm and on this not even two squirrels could have passed each other in safety the narrow path would have made the bravest tremble not so our goats we were to stand aside for the other
One set a foot on the log, the other did likewise.
In the middle they met horn to horn.
Neither would give away, and so they both fell, to be swept away by the roaring torrent below.
Moral of the story, it is better to yield than to come to misfortune through stubbornness.
STABLE 36 THE ASS AND THE LOAD OF SALT
A merchant, driving his ass homeward from the seashore with a heavy load of salt, came to a river crossed by a shallow ford.
